Friends and supporters of the Silicon Valley Arts Coalition came together Jan. 31 for an auction and an evening of performance at Le Petit Trianon Theatre. It was the first official fundraiser for the arts coalition, which formed in the spring of 2001 to increase the visibility and audiences of its members, which represent a cross section of small-budget arts groups.
